UPDATE: <\/strong><\/p>\n

For the latest rumours and leaks around the second Fighters Pass releasing in 2020, check here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Original story: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Speculation around Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a> characters has become an exhaustive and endless tradition, with the likes of Sonic, Solid Snake and Banjo & Kazooie blowing open the possibilities of who could be brawling among Nintendo’s elite. <\/p>\n

There’s one character left to be released in the first Fighter Pass<\/a>, following Persona 5’s Joker, Hero from Dragon Quest, Banjo & Kazooie, and Fatal Fury’s Terry Bogard. Creator Masahiro Sakurai confirmed this wouldn’t be the last though, with a second Fighter Pass coming in 2020 with five more fighters.  <\/p>\n

With speculation rife over an announcement coming in a rumoured Nintendo Direct in January, here’s all the rumoured candidates who could, or definitely won’t be, taking the challenger’s spot.  <\/p>\n

Dante – Devil May Cry<\/h3>\n

Capcom’s demon hunter would be a natural fit in the Super Smash Bros roster, especially following the release of Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 on Nintendo Switch this year.  <\/p>\n

The rumour of Dante came about from Twitter user @New_WabiSabi<\/a>, who described Dante as being ‘heavily rumoured’ although to take it with a grain of salt. The user has previously leaked correct info regarding announcements from E3, and coupled with the Switch releases this year, there’s a strong possibility Dante could be in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

The rumour was given additional credence following a post by Devil May Cry producer Matt Walker on Twitter, who teased three key dates for future announcements regarding Devil May Cry 3’s release on Switch. <\/p>\n
